I messed up and got absolutely smashed the other day. Just laying here feeling guilty as the hang over is almost worn off. Im sitting at around 12 hours sober right now. Had some left and dumped it down the sink. Back to none at all. Tried to regulate myself and that worked for a little. But back to none. I wasnt going to share on here. But changed my mind. Horrible laying here with my thoughts all alone.

Well sorry about the slip. Coming back here right after and facing the facts is a great start to get day 1 complete. Last year I relapsed and took 4 months to get back on the sober path. I am so glad for me I finally found my way back to my sober friends. Stay connected. You can do this.

Thank you. I appreciate it. Im feeling bad for calling in to work. But sometimes i just need some me time. I dont know why i feel bad for missing work. I could have gone in. I wasnt too hung over. I just really didnt want to deal with work.

Well done on pouring the rest down the drain. Congratulations on your 12+ hours…it’s one moment at a time.
Our addiction will try to trick is into thinking we can moderate. Hold on to this feeling and experience to remind yourself that moderation is not possible.

Glad you changed your mind. Hope it felt a bit relieving for you. I know venting always helps me and helps me to get more light on my situation. And for addiction? Well she florish in the shadow so we better put a big light on her and you just did! Well done

Thanks. It did help a little bit to talk about it on here. Here is to day two. Just woke up from sleeping almost 12 hours. Took myself a melatonin and passed out. Feeling pretty good right now actually.

Thank you. It is really. Guess my old habbits of not wanting to talk about my problem almost won earlier. But, i know i dont have to be that way on here.

Thank you. Downed about 16 oz of water before taking a melatonin and i slept close to 12 hours. Think i sweated most of it out in my sleep though. Working on another big glass of water. Just woke up a bit ago.

Thank you. I should have known better. But, i was just making excuses. Surprised i lasted as long as i did. Wish i could bottle up a hang over and when i need a reminder. Be like okay instant hang over that last 15 minutes please then goes away. Here is to day number two.
